Our Review
Valerie, an office staff member, earns consistent five-star praise for speed and professionalism, and several residents credit the maintenance team with quality work. However, persistent pest problems (bed bugs, roaches, rats), delayed repairs, security failures, and allegations of predatory lease practices and misrepresentation create serious concerns for long-term residents. Recent renovations have not resolved underlying management issues.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
Praised for
- Valerie's customer service and professionalism
- fast move-in process
- maintenance team attention to detail
Watch-outs
- pest infestations (bed bugs, roaches, rats)
- poor maintenance response times
- unsafe common areas and security issues
- misleading management practices and communications

Think twice if: Pest problems and slow maintenance response are serious concerns; long-term residents report ongoing issues despite recent renovations.
What Reviewers Like
- Fast and welcoming move-in process
- Valerie's responsive office service
What to Know Before You Tour
- Valerie (office staff) handles move-in and compliance paperwork; consistently praised across multiple years
- Maintenance team noted for attention to detail and professionalism in some reviews
- Property-wide heat treatment with claimed 90-day warranty against bed bugs (not honored per complaints)
- Renovation program included new stoves, refrigerators, ceiling fans; management claimed but did not provide storage costs, motel rooms, and food allowance
- Security failures: unsecured entrance for over a year (2022-mid 2024), drug activity in stairwells, three shootings and SWAT response documented
- Monthly pest control payment collected but services not delivered per resident complaints
What Stands Out
- Senior & 55+ Living
- Valerie's office staff praised for accessibility and professionalism; management practices in compliance and lease renewals flagged as deceptive.
- Affordable Housing
- Residents dispute affordability claims; rent structure and forced compliance applications questioned.

Live Oak Manor Apartments
3.0(22)✓ Google-verified
Live Oak Manor has mixed experiences tied to which management company runs it. Residents consistently praise individual staff members like Gavin and Javier for responsiveness, and note the apartments themselves are modern and attractive. However, a significant block of recent tenants report ongoing problems with maintenance of common areas, pest control, noise from thin walls, and disputed parking enforcement, with management blamed for not responding to repeated complaints.
